A New Icon for Columbia’s Skyline
Rising above West 126th Street with striking vertical lines and a glass-clad façade, Forten at Columbia presents a bold yet refined architectural statement in the Columbia University residential district. Designed by Peter Poon Architects, the 18-story structure blends modern symmetry with light-filled transparency — its clean geometry softened by a series of landscaped terraces.
Floors 2 through 7 are home to a Hilton-branded luxury hotel, setting a tone of understated elegance and international polish. The ground floor features thoughtfully programmed retail space including restaurants, and a bar, offering everyday convenience in a sophisticated setting.
Above the hotel, the upper residential levels offer a collection of studio to three-bedroom homes, each designed for seamless city living — with panoramic views, floor-to-ceiling windows, and access to an amenity suite rivaling private clubs. This is Columbia living, reimagined for the modern era.
Life Within Reach
Just steps from Columbia University, one block from the A/B/C/D lines, and with a dedicated shuttle to campus, Forten sits at the intersection of city energy and campus serenity. From nearby cafés to riverside parks and cultural institutions, everything you need is close — and beautifully connected.
